Thanks to hoppedup for sharing his bottle tonight,pours a deep burnt orange with a white sticky head.What to expext in a west coast IPA heavy dose of hops in the nose very piney and lemony no hint of malt at all,very resiny and piney flavor wise but thee is a sweeter malt backbone that keeps the hops from being to over the top keeping it some what balanced and just damn good.I like this west coast IPA big hops to be sure but not over the top and very quaffable.

The beer pours a golden yellow color with a white head. The aroma is a great mix of hops and malt. I get some pine and orange citrus notes, but this is balanced with a lot of caramel malt. The flavor is more of the same, with a lot of orange citrus hop notes as well as some bready and caramel malt. Definitely maltier than I was expecting. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

An unfortunate IPA. This could be a great beer, but there are too many problems. Pours cloudy gold with a chunky white head. Decent lacing. The hops are definitley there in the nose. Perfume, pine and some citrus. However, they taste funny. Very piney and citrus, but not in a good way. More like pine-sol and hard candy. It almost feels like Moylan's gave up before they were finished.

A dark amber color, darker than your average ipa. Smells of hops, cascade possibly. Both piney and citrusy.

Caramel color and malt dominate this one. Well, from the malt side, the hops are clearly getting top billing in this beer, but its neither a wallflower nor an extreme beast. Moylan's makes solid stuff, this ipais no exception. My only complaint, which shows in the drinkability score, is that its usually $6 for a bomber. Its just, I dunno, when you can get 6 comparable ipas for just 1-2 bucks more, well, that's why I rarely drink this stuff. Its good . . .

Poured into a chalice copper in color with a one finger white head. Great lacing all the way down the glass. Scent of hops and sugars are present. The taste is a good hop bite that mellows out to a sugary carmel flavor. The mouthfeel is good, but a little dry in aftertaste for my likes. Over all this is a great drinking IPA.

Highly charged bottle, a fast rising 1 1/2 inch head after a careful pour. Nice custard consistency. Hazy darker orange color. Big laces mark the glass. Excellent aroma, just the right amount of tangy bitter orange and a slight honey backdrop. Definitely comes out hoppy in flavor, so juiicy in impression that I almost feel like I'm chewing on an orange peel. Not much in the malt department but this isn't scouring in style. The hoppiness is so fresh (and refreshing) in this beer that I'm willing to forget about a better malt balance. It gets creamier as it warms.

Purchased this bomber at Binny's in Chicago, Ohio street loaction.App:Pale yellow leaning into a gold color, initial pour was not aggressive, half-finger soapy head with multiple bubble sizes. Second pour produced a rocky head that rose fast but subsided with medium sticky lacing.Aroma-hops galore, some orangey notes and caramel and buttery toffee.Mouthfeel-sharp hoppy bitterness hits first and stays the same through to the finish. If you let this slowly roll down the palate, the sweeter malt flavors come out. The grapefruit hoppiness is very thin to me, a froth on the palate gives does reveal a more lemony hop profile. Astringent with some bitter herbal flavors-and that's OK. Moylan's is making some very good hoppy brews- me likey!

Tastes similar to how it smells. Mild pale malt aromas up front are overtaken shortly by loads of citrus hop aromas that carry through to a strongly bitter ending.

Mouthfeel is good. It has a solid thickness with moderate carbonation.

Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing the bottle and could have another.

Overall this is a solid IPA however it doesn't have as light a touch as others put out by Moylan's. The flavors are too strong and just don't have as much complexity as other offerings from the brewery. Still, I have to say that it's worth a shot.

Tap@Moylans Brewpub. Basically a stronger version of the Tipperary. Huge lychee/graefruit, orange rind flavour. Sweet to start off, then bitter in the end. Not much depth of flavour, but still a decent amount of flavour in here, just a nice hoppy American IPA. Decent.

Poured from a bomber into imperial pint glass. Color was a dark orange with a finger of head and lots of lacing. Aroma was very citrusy and hoppy.
Taste was strongly of hops all the way through. Excellent hop flavor all the way through but the malt was barely detectable.A very good IPA but I'd prefer a little more balance.

D- While unimpressive overall, it is quite drinkable. With it's abv, I could put down a few of these. In a beer style known for its strong, sometimes overbearing flavors, Moylan's IPA's relative subtlety is its great strength, nicely displaying all of the typical traits of the IPA with none of the excesses.

Poured a clear orange/amber with a nice white single finger head that melted to heavy, lasting lacing.
Aroma is bright orange and orange peel with green hops ... almost grass like
Taste is initiallly sweet malt, then a little orange, followed by nice hop bite and citrus peel drying aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is moderate from carbonation but a little buttery. No noticable alcohol burn or aftertaste.
This is a beautifully crafted IPA with very bright fresh flavors. Generally a good IPA (for me) is very rich in grapefuit citrus but this one is more predominately orange and orange peel. Very enjoyable.
Very drinkable. I think sessioning would only be limited by how much alcohol you can consume

I procured a bomber of this at the Brewery Creek store in central Vancouver - it was all I could do to convince my host that it was worth driving there from downtown, after a whole inch and a half of snow...

This beer pours a slightly cloudy medium golden hue, with a few fingers of white creamy, foamy head, that leaves lacing all around the glass as it melts away. The smell is major grapefruit hops, and a mellow malt sweetness, with a tinge of baker's yeast. The taste is a massive bitter citrus blast to the poor tastebuds cowering in the corners (?) of my mouth. The caramel malt body that I can only assume is there by way of the perceived weight in the mouthfeel, is thus seemingly masked almost entirely. The citrus hops make themselves known at every stage in the evolution of the taste, drying out the finish like fine British humour, and leaving a lingering aftertaste of astringent goodness, like American. The carbonation - right, the carbonation - well, it's pretty innocuous, fairly mild, and doesn't intensify the effect of the bitterness, thankfully! This is obviously a one-sided affair, but the decent weight in the body of the beer makes this a satisfying drink, presuming one likes an assault and battery in terms of hop service. My Dad took one sip and made a face I haven't seen since I first cranked that Megadeth tape back in junior high...

Pours a cloudy orange honey with a giant tan foamy head. Be careful pouring there is alot of sediment in this. The smell is pungent with citrus hop aromas and pine. The taste is creamy with citrus and pine hops. There is almost a carmel flavor in the aftertaste. The m/f is light and very well balanced. The flavors hide the alcohol very well. This is an excellant and very underrated beer.

Looks just about perfect for the style. Glowing bronzed orange color, like a sunset, with a glaring white head that is creamy and remains present for the duration. Leaves big splats of lace as it slowly chills out.

While the taste treads the high wire between hops attack and malt sweetness the same way the aroma does, the hops edge out the malt on the tongue. Considering the style, they ought to. And those hops are big and resiny with equal nods to citrus rind and pine tree branch. A minty flavor reigns in the otherwise bitter and candy-sweet finish.

Without feeling heavy, this has both a creaminess and stickiness that works well to match the aggressive hop profile and carry the candy-like malt sweetness that rides along. Bitter and resiny in a way that inseparably welds flavor to texture, and really helps define the beer. Feel-wise, it's magnificent.

While my description of the taste sounds like the description of a big-ass double IPA, it manages to pack in a lot of flavor without going imperial. The sensible ABV helps with that, and this is basically an all-around excellent, clearly California-fied version of the style. Another fine brew from the typically hop-heavy Moylans.

A - This one is relatively clear (at least with the first pour from the bomber.... I can already see the yeasty at the bottom getting ready to jump ship into my glass) and a honey-tangerine color with a two finger tight and foamy off-white head. Enormous sheets of solid cream coat the glass in one of the finest displays of lace that I have seen outside of Belgium.

S - Grapefruit, tangerine, juicy super-ripe blood oranges, peach, and a big dose of canned mandarin oranges. Fruity as hell, and hoppy to beat all, this is one FINE smellin' IPA. The requisite malt backbone is there, but doesn't dare to interfere with the glorious hops. Outstanding.

T - Like the nose, this is fruity and citric with the very, very nice hop profile. Gritty, dirty, sour, bitter, citric, and pungent hops. This one has some friggin' horsepower in the hop department. Not quite as complex and pleasing as the nose, but these flavors are really good.

M - Medium bodied (lighter than you would think, actually) with a creamy carbonation that contrasts the sharp citrus flavors. Finishes hoppy, but more mellow than the initial attack. The flavor progression goes from fruity to super-hoppy to biscuity and malty, and back to half-hop power again leaving a nice lingering apricot and grapefruit hop note aftertaste.

D - Damn fine beer here! A perfect fix for a naggin hop jones. This one is definitely on the citrus side of the citrus-pine scale of hop flavor and aroma. I like this one a lot!
